My EAD/AP card expired 03/04/18. I am planning to travel home to Canada on 04/01/18 to visit my grandma who is sick, so she can meet our son for the first and likely only time. I had read the EAD automatically extends for 180 days so I didn't rush to renew my card. But inlight of needing to  go home, I'm now realizing it likely won't be enough time to renew my card before April. My question is a) If the EAD is automatically extended for 180 days, does that also apply to AP? and b) If not is there anyway to have a renewal expedited so I can still go home in April?

There are conditions for an automatic 180day extension of the EAD. If I read correctly, one of them is that the recipient has timely filed to renew their current EAD, bla bla bla. It does not auto extend if you have not proactively filed a renewal. Unfortunately  USCIS does not tell you what a "timely filled" is but most people speculate that it is 90days before the current EAD expiration date.
